Process

I went to my university's career fair and spoke for a relatively long time, approximately 15 minutes, with a Senior Engineer.

About three weeks later, I received a call from Splunk detailing an interview date and time. They were flexible with the interview time.

The interview was conducted over the phone. There was muddled sound, making it difficult to understand the interviewer. The interviewer provided questions via a code-sharing website. Awkward silences during the call made it hard to concentrate on the questions.

Combined with the fact that this was my first interview of the year, I was unable to answer many questions.

Questions

Questions on semaphores and mutexes.

Questions on parsing non-punctuated strings into valid IPs.
